ME: Did you blow Bubbles when you were younger? You: Yeah. ME: I just saw him and he was asking about you.

This is one of my favorite jokes. It is kind of like when someone says, "Give me a hand?" and you clap. Annoying yet funny. I don't know why but it is. Every so often I try the bubbles joke. It has been a while.

This weekend Lauren kind of used it on me. I took a sip of soda and it went down the wrong pipe. I started choking and wheezing. Lauren asked if I was okay and I responded the best I could spitting out the words. "Bubbles,..(cough)...went down...my..(cough).. throat..the wrong way."

Without offering me assistance or sympathy, Lauren said "Oh Yeah. I just saw him and he looked happy to me."

I hate when that happens! My old stand-by's are when my kids say "I'm hungry or I'm thirsty" and I reply with a handshake and say "I'm mom, nice to meet you" or "I'm Michelle, nice to meet you"...kinda lame, huh?

The boys have been working the "Is that your face or did your neck throw up?" insult / joke pretty heavily on each other the past few weeks. It's not funny to me, but...

One of Loverman's favorites is to refer to someone as a "dickfor." This is a joke that requires patience. He said this around me for several weeks until I finally asked, "What's a 'dickfor' anyway?" The punchline is just a smug look with raised eyebrows, which causes you to realize what you just said.

Me: How do you catch a unique rabbit?You: I don't knowMe: You neek up on it (unique/sneek)

Me: How do you catch a tame rabbit?You: I don't knowMe: Tame way, you neek up on it.

My mother in law is Okinawan. She looked at me completely straight faces as I was laughing my fool head off and said to me "Is that funny?" Of course everyone else howled...they're all sick of my jokes.

2 and a half hours later, I kid you not, my MIL starts laughing hysterically. It took her that long to get the joke. She patted me on the back and asked if I had anymore.

This reminds me of The Office and Michael always saying "That's what she said..."I get my lamest one liners from my dad."Wow it's really coming down out there!""Hey when it starts going up, let me know!"

"Did you get your hair cut?""No I got 'em all cut!"

My husband loves when any one around him says, "Oh God!" and he ALWAYS responds, "You can call me Dan."

Just the other day, grandson Kyle says to me,"Mama, your pretty!" I turned to thank him, and he laughed and said,"pretty ugly". Broke my heart, but I laughed and laughed, he got me. So I in turn said, "Kyle does your face hurt?" He said 'no' so I said, "It's killing me!" then he laughed and laughed. Maybe he'll use that one on his other grandmother.:)
